Reincarnated as Gotham's beauty trash

Chapter 71 Reincarnation Day 68

Our second stop is Venice.

I sat by the window on the water bus and listened to Dick complaining on the phone while I was blowing the air.

"It's too easy to have conflicts when acting with Bruce." He sullenly said, "When we have two opinions on a case, I always can't hold him back. I'm no longer his little assistant, I don't need him to guide me How to do it!"

"Is that why you want to move out?" I tucked my phone between my shoulders and chin, and tore open the snack wrapper with my free hand, "Boy, I don't think it's a good thing for underage teenagers to live alone. But if you It is the only way to get admitted to a university in other places.”

"Universities in other places." Dick was thoughtful, "Bruce donated more than one building to Gotham University."

"You are not a good-for-nothing rich kid who can only rely on your father's donations to go to college." I said lazily, "With your grades, you can choose the major you want to study in the university you want. Bruce also has several degrees in his hand. .”

As a saved ordinary person, I would like Nightwing to stay in Gotham; as the elder of Dick Grayson, I would like him to live the life he wants.

He has an exuberant sense of responsibility, even if he encounters a disabled puppy on the side of the road, he will not hesitate to take the responsibility on himself.

He was originally a starlet who traveled around with the circus, and I don't want to see him chained to Gotham land for the rest of his life, just because of the responsibility he chose.

"I'll think about it." Dick could hear a trace of consideration in his tone, "I want to study law."

"Then don't ask Clark to help you with your homework again." I reminded, "You don't plan to ask him to take the exam for you, do you?"

Dick was taken aback, and suddenly became a little annoyed, "It's as if you weren't lying on the sofa eating potato chips back then."

"I'm supervising him to help you with your homework." I said confidently.

At this time, a new call came in, I took a look, "Jason called me."

"I knew it, I knew it," Dick said, and I could imagine his little face rolling his eyes on the other side of the phone. "Sooner or later we'll have to make a schedule and call you on time."

I said a few words of reassurance, "I will bring you a gift when I go back."

"Is it different from Jason's gift?"

"It's different from everyone's gift."

Only then did Dick hang up the phone with satisfaction, "I'm looking forward to it."

Jason occupies the second half of the water bus, and I spot the four current Wayne men, each with the qualities of a nagging old lady.

This may be the genetic inheritance of the four of them who are not related by blood.The four of them said everything Kashan could save.

Jason fully understood Dick's distress. He complained chirpingly, took a deep breath at the end, and whispered, "Do you think I can compare to Dick?"

Before I could answer, he quickly interrupted me, "If I didn't ask, I'll hang up first, I wish you a pleasant trip."

After speaking, he immediately hung up the phone without giving me a chance to respond.

What an awkward little boy.At least he didn't blacklist me.

I texted Jason, "I don't compare milk and juice boy. I want both."

Just when the water bus arrived, we disembarked.Pepper poked me on the arm, "Busy, sweet mother."

"Trouble comes with happiness, and one day you will understand me."

I took her hand, and Pepper turned off the flashing cell phone, "Wow, you are so cruel, in order to cooperate with you, should I blacklist Tony Stark."

She squeezed between her eyebrows, "We had a fight."

She finally spoke, and I followed along and asked, "What's the reason?"

"We were together many years ago, before you and Bruce were married." Pepper shrugged, "I just... I'm not sure I can spend my life in this unstable situation relationship."

All living materials in Venice need to be purchased from outside the island, and the transportation cost is extremely high.We bought two expensive sticks of ice cream and strolled over to the bridge while we ate.

Pepper sat on the pier, biting an ice cream, "We would occasionally talk about marriage, and Tony would divert the topic. He didn't think he was ready to start a family, and he didn't have the courage to face the next stage of his life."

"Sometimes I feel like I'm walking on a Möbius strip that never ends," she said. "I don't have to marry him, I'm just a little bit annoyed at his avoidance."

I can understand Pepper's feelings.These superheroes have one thing in common, they are always afraid of bringing danger to those around them, and afraid of starting a family.This always confuses those close to them.

On this point, Pepper is more forgiving than I am.If Bruce hadn't proposed to me back then, I would have left him as a passer-by in my life.

Pepper can't always be Tony's closest assistant.There is a big gap between the two identities of girlfriend and wife.

"Maybe he just needs a little time, but you've given him enough time." I pat Pepper on the back.

"Forget it, there's nothing to say." Pepper shook his head.

My phone vibrated again, and I checked the message, Pepper raised an eyebrow, "You're very welcome at home."

"Who made me cute and charming." I hooked the corners of my mouth, "I don't want to worry about those bad things, there are gondolas nearby, please take the boat."

We chose a well-built boatman, and paid extra to hire him to sing the boat song.

The canal in Venice is a shimmering green, which contrasts with the orange and white brick walls on both sides and the red-roofed tent in front of the restaurant.The sky is getting late, and the orange-red sunset is rendered layer by layer at the other end of the canal, and a round of sparkling sunset is reflected in the bridge hole.

The Bridge of Sighs is not far in front of us, and it is one of the must-see attractions for tourists to Venice.It is said that lovers can live forever if they kiss under the bridge.

I joked to Pepper, "It's a pity that I am the one who accompanied you under the Bridge of Sighs. Should we cooperate and give a face-to-face salute or something like that?"

The gondola we took put a bouquet of flowers on the bow, and carried us dangling forward against the mottled wall.The boatman sang at this time, and the melodious singing echoed from wall to wall.The gondola becomes a small stage.

Pepper looked around, and seemed to notice something was wrong, "Where did everyone nearby go?"

From just now, the gondolas following us and the tourists on the bridge disappeared.I stood up and sat back on the deck of the gondola.

Shaking his shoulders at Pepper's suspicious eyes.

We are about to pass through the bridge hole of the Bridge of Sighs, a voice came from the bridge, "I wonder if there is a place on the boat, so I can give me a ride."

Tony Stark poked his head out of the small window on the wall, and he leaned against the window, "If it's inconvenient, I'll pretend I didn't hear it, and ask again."

"Wow, what a rogue logic he is," I exclaimed.

Tony straightened his suit on the bridge, looked around and found in embarrassment that the small window in front of him was obviously not big enough for him to slip through easily wearing armor.He made a "wait a moment" gesture to us, "wait, stop the boat first."

The boatman put down the pole in cooperation, and Pepper turned back, "Did you plan with him a long time ago?"

"It's just that some people don't like me putting on the matching ring with you before him." I made an innocent expression and asked her, "Do you know the name of the song the boatman sang?"

She really didn't know.

"'OSoleMio', which means 'my sun.' This song was chosen by Tony."

I smiled at her, "You're his sun, Pepper."

The golden-red battle armor fell on our ship, and the armor turned into fluid and burrowed into Tony's cuff.He sat across from Pepper with a casual look, "What a coincidence."

"So," Pepper tapped his knee, "what are you doing here?"

Tony glanced sideways, he seemed to have made up his mind in a split second, and looked determined when he moved his eyes back.

"Come here to welcome a brand new beginning." He said, suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out a small velvet box from his trouser pocket and opened it.

"Although I always think diamond rings are tacky, but, um, it should be safer to use this for a marriage proposal. Wait until the wedding day to buy other rings." He was obviously nervous, and started talking nonsense, "Buy seventeen or eight A sapphire ruby ​​emerald or something, and a different ring for each finger."

Then he glanced carefully at the iris ring on the root of Pepper's finger, which was paired with me, "Just put the pair of rings in the box."

Hit the iron president, your behavior is called "crossing the river and tearing down the bridge" and "repaying kindness with revenge".

The boatman is slowly supporting the pole, the singing is approaching a climax, and the gondola is about to sail under the Bridge of Sighs.

Pepper didn't speak, and Tony kept looking at her. I think he must be so nervous now that he wants to jump into the canal to sober up.

"Maybe you haven't recovered a bit, I can understand," the man who was proposing marriage tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, "If you are not satisfied with the atmosphere here, we can find a press conference to propose marriage publicly in front of the media cameras, For example, the press conference for the establishment of the new base of the Avengers..."

"Quiet," Pepper said.

Tony stared in surprise like a frightened deer.Of course, his own temper is very different from Xiaolu's.

His first instinct was to call the boatman, "Wait a minute, can we turn the boat around—"

Before he finished speaking, Pepper bent down and grabbed his collar to gag him.

The gondola drove across the Bridge of Sighs, and the white bridge covered the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving a small quiet shadow.Lovers kiss at the bottom of the bridge, hoping to last forever.

I booed on purpose.

The kissing men and women stand up, the shadows pass over them, and then the orange-red sunlight, the moment in front of them is like an oil painting painted on the canvas.

I took a photo with my phone, thought for a moment and sent it to Bruce, "Tony and Pepper proposed."

Not long after, a reply was sent over there, "It's quite late."

It sounds like he is still a little proud, is this the confidence of a married man?

He asked again, "When are you going to come back?"

"Gotham doesn't have as good a view as Venice."

"You have updated no less than seven landscape photos and photos of your sisters on Twitter on social media," Bruce replied quickly, "And I am in Gotham, and a media tabloid published an article this morning claiming that our relationship has broken down."

...Probably not Joshua, he has withdrawn from my emotional world with Bruce for a long time.

Bruce and I were on the same page and knew exactly what was going on in my head.

"It's a newspaper under JG Network New Media, but it's not Joshua. He's very confident about our relationship." Every word Bruce typed was full of resentment, "It's his apprentice."

"It's okay," I comforted him, "You can also find an apprentice to join Wayne Enterprises to clean up Gotham's media industry on your behalf."

"We received the postcard from you, Ah Fu and the children are very happy." Bruce asked again, "But why didn't I receive your postcard?"

"You already have a wooden bat carving, let me remind you."

"I don't think you mean that."

hum.I raised the corners of my lips proudly, "Oh?"

"Ok?"

The two on the gondola were still whispering, and I leaned over them to look at the shimmering river, "Of course you won't get a postcard, sir."

I took a photo and sent it to him, "Because you can see the scenery directly through my phone camera, can't you?"
